Softonic review

Have an alternative number using this app

Known as 2nd Phone Number Calling + SMS, TextFree: Private Texting App is a free-to-download communication app that lets you create a second phone number. Texting is unlimited and doesn’t cost a single cent. Calls, meanwhile, have time limits—which is bad news for users who love spending hours talking with friends and family. 

Hence, subscribing to TextFree: Private Texting App is the only way to remove said limits. Also, the frequent display of advertisements makes it infuriating to use. Changing your password is a hassle, too, since doing so often results in a server error for no apparent reason. 

Strong security and free unlimited texts

With the ability to create a second contact number and select an area code, TextFree: Private Texting App will help keep your personal and professional life separate. It offers unlimited texting at no cost, allowing you to send SMS and MMS to a recipient provided you have internet access. Like Messenger, you can create group chats for your family or closest circle of friends or better dissemination of messages.

Likewise, you can send emojis, GIFs, stickers, and many more to liven up your group chat or express what you’re feeling at the moment. On the other hand, unlimited calling as well as no-ad texts and calls require a monthly payment of $9 USD. As the app boasts end-to-end encryption, cybercriminals will not be able to access your messages, calls, and personal data—ensuring your online safety and privacy.

However, this app has a couple of technical hiccups. For example, there are instances when you can’t make or receive calls even if you have a stable connection. Screen freezes are a common occurrence, too, not to mention that the app loads slowly when receiving new texts. The advertisements are a source of annoyance, as well, appearing every time you check and respond to messages.

Annoying technical issues

TextFree: Private Texting App gives allows users to create a second number for either their professional or personal social circles. While it boasts unlimited free texts, calls have a time limit so you’ll need to subscribe to the app to enjoy unlimited call times. Unfortunately, it comes with numerous issues, such as frequent ad displays, server errors when changing passwords, and slow loading times.
